The neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Nice for a morning run. You might even wake up listening to birds outside your window. However, it is a convenient location for those arriving or leaving the country. It is also an easy place to get tour buses to go to different locations because Double Tree, Windam and Garden Inn hotels are very close by.
You will also find different restaurants (Hardrock cafe, Chinese food, sushi, pizza, Italian, Argentinian) in a walking distance.
Public transportation is 5-10 min walk away and will take you downtown San José. Uber is available as well and I think the best way to move around. If you need advice on local places, we will surely guide you!

Ronny was super helpful from the moment we got to the Economy car rental providing us with the directions to his place. People in the household were very welcoming, very friendly, and they went an extra mile to help us when we needed it. We absolutely love them. It is a very safe place. Because of Ronny and his family we became very quickly familiar where the great bakery and grocery stores are. Thank you Ronny and family, we truly enjoyed our stay.

TonyNovember 2016

Ronny and his wife were really welcoming and tried everything possible to make our stay as convenient as possible. They answered questions we didn't even know we had and were very supporting. The house is clean and quite big, so there is enough space to even have some privacy. We had our own room and bathroom which was equiped with towels and toiletries. Only thing that surpised us that was that we weren't staying with Ronny but with his mother in law, a fact which didn't minimize our experience as she is also a very open and friendly person. I can't think of anything that could have improved our stay, we really enjoyed it and I would totally recommend this place and Ronny as a host!

Everything work out. We needed a place to stay for a night and we found everything we expected. Fluent and friendly communication with Ronnie and Lorena who was waiting awake for us at 11 in the night and helped us ordering some food even it was quite late. It was easy to get an uber to the airbnb from the airport and it was just 5 uss dolars. Thank you very much.

"The perfect alternative from staying at some nameless, lifeless hotel" - Bill G (guest)
Why stay in someone's spare room or a hotel by the airport when you can stay in a detached studio in a private park setting slurping coffee from one of the most exclusive coffee growing regions in the world!
At the Coffee Garden enjoy our bush-to-cup coffee while strolling through a working boutique coffee ranch among 50-year-old coffee plants. Listen to birds and the sound of a gentle river in our 2-acre meditation garden set in a coffee plantation with panoramic views of Irazu Volcano, the Tres Marias mountains of Braulio Carrillo National Park, and city lights of San Jose.
Our tastefully decorated detached 300-square foot studio has a modern private bath, small refrigerator and coffee bar, and an expensive queen bed. Our gated, very secure 8-acre estate on the best street in Concepcion de San Isidro de Heredia is located in the nicest small town in the San Jose Valley. Minutes away, restaurant bar Los Portreros features a great selection of quality food and excellent views. It's the real Costa Rica.
Hi, I'm Phil and have been in Costa Rica for over 25 years. I can help you get the most of your entire Costa Rica vacation. You can expect expert advice on your travels, relocation and real estate needs. I have been very successful living and owning in Costa Rica.
Along with the purchase of 4 or more bags of coffee, you receive an autographed copy of Phil Baker's Costa Rica Now / Travel Live and Own in Paradise. One of the last 200 copies of this Costa Rica classic. 500 pages - a $25 value.
Location ~ ~ We are located in San Isidro in the beautiful coffee country province of Heredia, about 30 minutes from the National Theater and Gold Museum in central San Jose. Our neighborhood is one of the finest in Costa Rica with a mix of ex-patriots and Costa Ricans living on large estates and smaller homes.
Coffee ~ ~ Our coffee fruit is sun dried for 100 days. Not sent to a mill to be strip washed and dried in mechanical dryers and later sent for processing in an automated warehouse. We pay our pickers double to harvest our coffee fruit at the peak of ripeness. Our coffee beans remain in the dried coffee fruit until ready for small-batch roasting. This triples products costs, but you get a rare treat - coffee harvested and dried in a truly artisanal old-world style.
Massage ~ ~ An hour and a half massage for $40!!!! Trained in Germany our off-site massage professional gives a comprehensive full body massage in the comfort of your room. A perfect way to unwind after a long flight and a great way to end your memorable trip to Costa Rica.
Restaurants ~ ~ The great restaurant Los Portreros with its awesome city light views serves a large variety of fantastic local dishes with generous portions at reasonable prices. It's a 5-minute taxi ride away. This secret spot is known to locals as "the place to eat." Excellent food and good service. All our guests love it. Ten minutes away is Sibu Chocolates where you can lunch and sample awesome chocolate treats while watching handmade truffles made from Caribbean cocoa. They offer a lunch-included tour.
Transportation ~ ~ The bus is 400 meters away. Taxi to San Isidro is $2 one way. The village of San Isidro has banks, several markets, restaurants and coffee shops bakeries. Downtown Heredia with luxury malls and high-end restaurants is six miles away. Buses leave every 15 minutes to Heredia and San Jose, from where you can board direct buses to all parts of Costa Rica. Taxis arrive at our ranch within minutes. The intentional airport is 30 minutes away.
Attractions ~ ~ La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Rain Forest Adventure zip lines are both easily doable day trips as well as Doka Estates Coffee Tour and Poas Volcano National Park and Braulio Carrillo National Park.
Our clean and modern studio, unique coffee, immaculate gardens, expert advice, a $40 hour-and-a-half massage, and close proximity to downtown San Jose makes the Coffee Garden Boutique Working Coffee Ranch the best bang for your travel buck. See you soon... slurp slurp.
You have access to our 2-acre meditation garden with 500 feet of river frontage, and a 600 square foot party Rancho with panoramic views, darts, foosball table, firepit, heavy duty swing set designed for adults, bar with giant round table and hammock surrounded by an acre of Saint Augustine grass. We have a bocce ball area as well, so come and play!
I enjoy meeting with guests from all over the world; however, if you prefer alone time we are happy to accommodate by giving you all the privacy you need on our large fenced estate.

Our neighborhood is one of the finest in Costa Rica with a mix of ex-patriots and Costa Ricans living on large estates and smaller homes. The Small town of San Isidro is 5 minutes away and has many conveniences. Staying with us gives you a chance to feel what it's like to live in the real Costa Rica. You can walk up the street toward the National Park and if you are lucky you can see white face monkeys. The northeast part of the central valley is the first area to receive the prevailing Caribbean winds purified by miles of Braulio Carrillo National Park cloud forests bordering our neighborhood.
Buses leave every 15 minutes to Heredia and San Jose where you can board direct buses to all parts of Costa Rica. Taxis arrive at our ranch within minutes.
We have great pets! Guests love playing with our friendly pooches Chester and Capitan, and our little mascot Roudel! La Paz Waterfall Gardens is a must see - we can arrange tours. My daughter's favorite zip lines at Rainforest Adventures are 40 minutes away. Both easily doable day trips. Poas Volcano is a beautiful place to spend the morning and an hour away.

Just returned to Arizona from my stay at Phil's boutique coffee plantation. This is more than a coffee plantation. It's a slice of heaven. After hitting the beach zone for 4 days, the cooler climate change here (over 4700 ft elevation) was perfect and the grounds that Phil designed with multiple paths, flower gardens, creek side tree house and views of the city on one side of the property, moving clouds and mountainside views made the stay magical. Phil is a perfect host. Courteous, kind and happy to steer you in the right direction when asked. I had an unusual request to cut off all electricity to the casita. PHIL CHECKED ON IT, got back to me and was happy to accommodate. If you are one of millions who suffer from EMF sensitivity, this is the place to enjoy restful sleep using your canopy. Rafters in casita made canopy easy to set up. There are cell towers everywhere in this country and seemingly closer together than in the states. Phil can suggest a great place to order in pizza and there is a really great little restaurant nearby. With a broad menu. You won't want to leave the property if you appreciate a picturesque garden for quiet time - meditating in the tree house, watching the clouds swiftly moving above your head, skipping through the garden like a little girl, swinging in a swing watching sun sets or loving on Phil's 3 sweet dogs. Beautiful experience. Recommended!

sherriDecember 2015

Phil was a fantastic host. He helped with everything from getting there to finding a place to eat, was warm and welcoming on his gorgeous property, and helped make our last night in Costa Rica a memorable one. The property and views are spectacular, and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

PatrickApril 2016

Phil is awesome. His estate is beautiful. He even made us breakfast and called a cab for us. It was our first night in the country and we instantly felt at home, even arriving after 9pm. If your plans are anywhere near San Jose, don't take a chance somewhere else. Stay with Phil.

EliAugust 2014

Phil was a helpful, engaging and gracious host. He has had some very interesting life experiences, which if you show some interest, he will share. His home is beautiful. It is in the hills above San Jose and at night has a gorgeous view of the city. I stayed in the small studio by the house. It was very attractive and clean. The TV had some English channels. I did not see the other accommodation. If you arrive at SJO late in the day, are renting a car and you are unfamiliar with the area be prepared for a challenge finding his place. There are two large, rambunctious but lovable outdoor dogs. Ask for the tour of the coffee growing area. I will not hesitate to stay here again.

RickFebruary 2015

While our visit with Phil was very brief, his accomodations were probably the most elegant and spacious of all the places we stayed. And the best part was Alberto, who gave 2 hour massage for my husband and I for $40! He also recommended a restaurant that my husband went for takeout. Thank you Phil, and sorry again for arriving late. If you do visit Phil allow time as traffic through Heredia was slow-going.

NewFebruary 2014

This coffee ranch was amazing don't miss it! The pictures don't do it justice, the gardens are amazing and theres even a stream in the back with a cute little patio to sit on. Phil wasnt there when we went, but his family was and they were more than amazing. It felt like true friends, we talked and Tania let us try some coffee. Definitely recommend this place! Its not in a touristy place so its nice to get a feel for real Costa Rica

JamalJuly 2014

Really nice room separate from the main house. Phil is very helpful and is willing to give you assistance or space depending on what you want. Definitely ask to wander the grounds, he will tell you the gate to go through to see the BEAUTIFUL gardens where the coffee is.

ErinnNovember 2015

Fabiola and her father were very helpful. Fabiola met us at the airport and made us feel very comfortable. The unit was clean and was well stocked with everything we needed. It's a centrally located and it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. While Uber is prevalent in the area, I recommend renting a car. We had a wonderful stay, and Fabiola went out of her way to make it that way. We would stay at this

Prebooked means requested in advance and prepaid. Otherwise it's $9.95 cash nightly per AC unit if requested at check in.

The host was quite informative and proactive in coordinating to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Available and responsive at all hours. Friendly and quick to suggest area attractions. The listing was exactly as described and was also surprised to find that local and US calls were free. And even a local cell phone available for prepay charging was there for our use. We also felt very safe with the 24/7 security at the complex. Overall an enjoyable stay!

ConnieDecember 2014

The instructions were quite complete and clear, we had no problem at all with the guard. The neighborhood is quite safe and clean, being in a kind of gated community! The condo is REALLY nice, really recent, well equiped, very clean. The pool is kept cold and mostly clean except for a few leaf here and there that you can pickup yourself with the net. The beds are really confortable. On the other hand, it's a bit noisy since there's a main road not far from it. so if you're a light sleepers, take the guest bedroom or bring some ear plugs.

Jean-LouisFebruary 2016

I stayed for 5 nights with my girlfriend and son at this condo in Nosara. I've been to Costa Rica a few times before, and I'm not a huge fan of staying in downtown San Jose, so the idea of staying somewhat between downtown and the airport appealed to me. The location ended up being perfect for what we needed, easy drive to downtown, and near the highway to the Pacific ocean. The condo is in a small area with a mall (including some restaurants/bars and a super market) 5 minutes away without having to cross any big roads, so that was super convenient. The condo itself felt really safe and all the guards we encountered were friendly. The condo itself was nice, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. If I should point out something negative out would be that the pool is located under some trees and only cleaned once a week, so the last days before the cleaning it got a little dirty, however we were there off-season, and I don't know if it's different other times of the year. The host company was very pleasant to deal with, replied quickly to any communications, and were very helpful and flexible in sorting out any small adjustments and concerns we had.

- Please note there are several friendly dogs in the property and they are part of family. They have been adopted and are totally inoffensive.
- The apartment over the garage is sporadically used by the owners and is not part of the rented property.

After 12 hours of traveling, we were able to find a piece of paradise in this home. Marisol and her family did a great job of communicating with us as we got closer to arrival. The neighborhood is gorgeous and there are a number of restaurants near by! We stayed for one night and had dinner at Chubascos, very good. We greatly enjoyed the resident dogs and our conversations with the family - they welcomed us to the Pura Vida lifestyle with open arms. The photos of the views looking out to the mountains and river don't do justice, this place is breathtaking. Highly recommended.

Really nice rafting experience and really good diner after. Very clean place, welcoming staff and a cute little dog to love. A little bit far from others activities, always need to take the bus but if you have a car, that's the place!

Very nice place! Clean and comfortable with kind and cool staff + chilled out dog. The location is good as well, a little far from Puerto viejo (which is nothing bad actually), but perfect if you have a car. Recommendation!

The place is clean, neat and friendly. The kitchen is shared but does not have a lot of supplies like pans, oil and salt and pepper. they offer the best rafting tour in town and cook the most amazing lunch afterwards!

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and kind. The rafting experience was great with guides Hansel and Pablo. They communicate well in numerous languages. Would recommend bringing earplugs in case of large gatherings.

We were guests for two nights in islas del rio, it was a great time. The room was clean, the bathroom also. We booked a rafting tour on rio sarapiqui, it was an amazing experience. All in all we recommend the hostel.

This was such a fantastic experience. We had booked a whitewater rafting excursion and when we got there, they helped us secure our vehicle and then sent us on our way. It was also very comforting to know that our vehicle and luggage was secure. I highly recommend their rafting excursion, our guides were very knowledgeable and we felt extremely safe while still having an adventure. The food at the hostel is awesome as well. Our room was very clean and spacious. We also did the night hike at Tirimbina, which was truly incredible. Leading up to our arrival, our hosts were very helpful in suggestions for things to do and see all over Costa Rica, and we charted out much of our trip based on their recommendations. Everyone at the hostel was very helpful in contacting people for us and making everything go smoothly. This hostel is also right on the river and we spent a lovely lazy morning sipping coffee in hammocks watching the water rush by. We just hope that more people find this gem to stay at and enjoy the surrounding area.

We recycled all the outside parts of the house and updated all the inside. The entire property is on a septic system to avoid contaminating rivers.
The project was to to keep it simple and ecofriendly. You can buy home cooked meals, raw milk and free range eggs from the neighbors.

"La Choza", how it should be. ..Clean and Spacious!
My neighbors can supply you with raw milk, fresh free range eggs and home cooked meals.

Our location is best if you are driving or using cabs. It is not on a main road.
